Although I will never challenge the quality of BMW mechanical engineering, I never been a fan of their motorcycles. Durable, yes, but with designs that I dislike and a riding position which will never be mine (rode a police one in Germany and felt like I was sitting in a small SUV). But I like very much the sexy line of this BMW Motorrad concept six-cylinder with new Cafe Racer lines.

BMW engineers had to conceive the smallest ever six-cylinder and as far as I understand it was done by a combination of a square bore with a longer stroke ratio and reducing the gaps between cylinders, making the engine only slightly bigger than the big 4-cylinders. The bike uses an alloy frame with Duo-Lever and Para-Lever suspensions and six-piston Brembo brakes. Back to the lines, the Concept 6 is beautifully UN-BMW motorcycle by the finesse of its bodywork and mechanical details. Just look at the handlebars and instrument cluster conceived to give you almost as much information as the most recent BMW cars would give you, even on a tap what is your torque at any given moment! Now the question is will BMW Motorrad mass produce such a sexy bike. Cafe Racers need a filiation. BMW Motorrad.

Amazing design, i hope they produce in mass, end loots of good tecnology.
I like very styles of motorcycles, most hand made Bikes,but Factory Bikes are nice too,and the guys wo have the oportunity of work in this Bikes, are very lucky guys.

Well this looks great as I have owned BMWs and I love them!! I have also owned several Honda CBX’s and ridden six cylinder Kawasaki’s and Benelli’s. I am glad to see BMW moving into this design concept although I would now prefer it to be in a touring bike than a sports type cafe racer. Cyril your comment seems odd about the (SUV) type ride have you ever ridden a Goldwing? Talk about SUV the goldwing wins the prize.
Choppers are great I live them but really dislike what most of the custom shops are doing now. I would rather spend eight hours in the saddle of a BMW than the same time on a Harley Chopper or custom.
